Chapter 1908

"Hey?"

Snow Mountain Extreme Leopard instantly became unhappy, asked Xiao Feng: "What exactly is your relationship?"

Xiao Feng smiled and said: "We have a close relationship. Anyway, if you want to cause trouble for me and can't find me, go find Qisheng. If he says he doesn't know, you beat him until he tells you."

"I feel you're lying to me!" Snow Mountain Extreme Leopard expressed doubt.

Xiao Feng laughed loudly, gave no explanation, and continued flying up the mountain.

Meeting Qisheng here was a coincidence, but there's no deep grudge between us; just venting a bit, it's over.

The three Ancestral Gods continued up the mountain with him.

Soon, Xiao Feng followed Dianjiang Huaxian and Snow Mountain Extreme Leopard to a cultivation site near the upper region of Star Realm Mountain.

This is the cultivation site of Hidden Mystery Venerable among the Three Great Venerables.

Hidden Mystery Venerable likes alchemy, so his residence was built in the shape of an alchemy room; an octagonal classical building stands on the mountain, tiny compared to Star Realm Mountain, but actually over a hundred meters tall and very spacious.

This Alchemy Tower was built according to the form of the Eight Trigrams Formation; although its appearance isn't splendid, it is inlaid with various jades, gold and stone curios, and engraved with many formation runes; from different angles one can feel different forces flowing, truly miraculous.

"This is Hidden Mystery Venerable's Alchemy Tower; go seek him yourself. We'll wait here, don't think about escaping." Snow Mountain Extreme Leopard said in an arrogant tone.

"Mm, thanks for guiding." Xiao Feng said, walking toward the Alchemy Tower, meanwhile glancing around.

The surrounding mountain peaks are all Hidden Mystery Venerable's territory, besides.

Besides the Alchemy Tower, there are a few thatched huts in the distance where the child attendants live.

Hidden Mystery Venerable's child attendants are the only ones, aside from the Three Great Venerables, who can reside in the upper region of Star Realm Mountain.

They usually cannot wander freely, only able to cultivate nearby; when Hidden Mystery Venerable is refining elixirs, they must also watch the furnace. Although not very free, their status is quite high; many Ancestral Gods treat them politely, even if they are merely God King level.

Moreover, after staying with Hidden Mystery Venerable for a long time, one can learn many alchemy skills; after graduating and going to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, one can easily become a big shot.

At this moment the Alchemy Tower's door was closed, heat emanating from inside; it must be refining elixirs.

Xiao Feng arrived at the door and shouted loudly: "Human adventurer Xiao Feng, I seek an audience with Hidden Mystery Venerable!"

No response from inside.

The Venerable surely heard his voice; probably he's busy refining elixirs and temporarily doesn't want to attend to him.

Xiao Feng had a request, so he didn't dare offend too much; he obediently waited outside the door.

Who would have thought that this wait would last a full three hours!

Originally he had already spent much time traveling; by the time he arrived at Star Realm Mountain, not much time remained for his cultivation.

Standing for three hours, Xiao Feng couldn't help feeling a bit gloomy.

Fortunately, after three hours passed, the Alchemy Tower's door finally opened.

The gate's material is unknown; it looks like wood but is extremely heavy, over a foot thick and more than thirty meters high; it takes two God King‑level child attendants exerting great strength to slowly push it open.

When the gate opened, a fragrant aroma of elixirs immediately wafted out, refreshing the heart and spleen.

【Ding~ You smelled "elixir fragrance", magic recovery speed increased within 60 seconds

10 times!】

The system popped up a prompt, and Xiao Feng couldn't help clicking his tongue.

This Hidden Mystery Venerable is indeed extraordinary; just standing before his door already has this effect!

"Fellow Daoist Xiao Feng, the Venerable invites you inside."

After the door opened, a child attendant walked out and spoke politely.

This child attendant is a 1300‑level God King, known as Kanhuo Tongzi; his original surname is unknown, he looks about seventeen or eighteen, handsome and refined, with a touch of immortal youth.

The other is Sifeng Tongzi, also about seventeen or eighteen, rather ordinary in appearance, and a 1240‑level God King.

"Thank you."

Xiao Feng said thanks and stepped inside.

The world inside the gate is quite different from outside.

Outside is a blessed celestial paradise, while inside is a hot elixir chamber filled with furnace fire.

However, this high temperature is nothing to Xiao Feng; his Sun True Fire is far hotter.

Upon entering, he discovered the Alchemy Tower's interior held many things, not just an empty furnace.

The building has no partitions; it's a single room a hundred meters square, with a purple‑gold alchemy furnace in the center—eight meters high, narrow‑mouthed, big‑bellied—each side has a fire opening, the top has a row of small wind vents, and the bottom bears an Eight Trigrams Formation, now dim and inactive.

Yet the flame inside the furnace is still burning, a gleam of brilliant gold light flashing, the tongues of fire swaying—it is precisely Sun True Fire, almost identical to Xiao Feng's law power.

Around the hall, many shelves and cabinets are set up, on which can be seen various bottles and jars of different shapes and sizes, presumably

for storing elixirs.

Upon reaching here, Xiao Feng felt as if he had entered the Tushita Palace.

And the white‑haired old man in Daoist robes seated on the ground before him greatly resembles the legendary Laozi.

【Star Realm Mountain·Hidden Mystery Venerable (Enlightenment)】

Level: 2560 (Venerable)

HP: 15200 zetta/15200 zetta

Note: same‑race NPC, killing yields no Qi Luck or prestige.

Hidden Mystery Venerable's info is similar to that of the War Ancient State NPC "Xia Yu Hou" we met before, and their strength is also around 2500+ level.

Such strength, in the outside world, is no match for Xiao Feng; a single heart‑sword strike can easily kill him.

But on Star Realm Mountain, the Three Great Venerables have special empowerment; even if the Azure Dragon came, it might not gain an advantage.

"Xiao Feng has met Hidden Mystery Venerable." He stepped forward and performed a junior's salute.

Hidden Mystery Venerable's beard and hair are all white, yet his skin is not aged, giving a feeling of crane‑haired childlike visage.

He slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Xiao Feng, and flicked his whisk.

Thud

The lid of the eight-meter-high alchemy furnace flew open, a burst of purplish-red light shot out, emitting astonishing heat as it sped toward the door, moving at a terrifying speed.

Seeing Huo Tongzi and the situation, he hurriedly shouted, "The pill wants to escape, fellow Daoist, grab it quickly!"

Can the pill run too?

Xiao Feng staggered, then quickly reacted; his body transformed into myriad source qi with a whoosh, flying to the front of the purplish-red pill and solidifying to block it.

Get lost!

A voice came from inside the pill; this medicine actually has sentience!

Xiao Feng was shocked beyond belief; after playing the game for so long, he had never encountered anything like this—apparently the pill of Hidden Mystic Venerable is

It's truly transcendent and extraordinary!

The pill spewed a burst of heat trying to push him back, but he utterly feared no such power; with a big grab, Golden Crow Fire rose, hotter than it, and he seized the pill directly in his palm.

"Ah! Let me go, let me go!" the pill cried out in reluctance.

Xiao Feng suppressed it with divine power, flew back indoors, and presented it with both hands to Hidden Mystic Venerable: "Senior, this is your pill."

Hidden Mystic Venerable had already closed his eyes again, and replied lightly: "That's your pill; take it to save her. Although it cannot resolve the injury of Qi Luck, at least it can let her wake up."
